“The reality is without regulations requiring large industrial polluters, like the Tar Sands, to reduce emissions, no plan to fight climate change will be effective,” said John Bennett, Executive Director of Sierra Club Canada. “If the Conservative government was seriously about climate change – which it’s clear it isn’t – they would immediately call together the big polluters and demand agreement on a plan to swiftly reduce emissions.”

“Minister Kent should stop play-acting and get to work,” said Bennett. “He knows perfectly well that any plan without real controls on industrial emissions is meaningless.”
